13-year-old Jaipur boy buys scooter for sister with coins worth Rs 62,000
A 13-year-old boy's quest to buy his sister a scooter sent workers of a two-wheeler showroom in Jaipur into a tizzy.
The boy named Yash, who turned up at a Honda car showroom with his sister on Diwali, wanted to pay the entire amount of Rs 62,000 in coins.
On October 19, just as the employees and officials of the showroom were about to leave, the two siblings showed up with two bags full of coins.
Yash tried to convince the reluctant showroom staff to let him buy the vehicle as he and his sister had saved money for years for it.
"We saved the amount from our pocket money which we usually get in coins. Even when we get it in the form of currency notes, we exchanged it for coins," Yash said.
Finally, the staff gave in. And with this, began a two-hour long grueling process of counting the money.
"We see a lot of customers who come with coins to pay a part of the total amount of the vehicles. But it was a special case where both of them paid entire amount in coins," said Honda dealer Santosh Kumar.
